Horse to be destroyed if found diseased : otherwise restored.

diseased as aforesaid may, subject to any rules which the State Government may make in this
behalf, be either destroyed or otherwise treated or dealt with as the Veterinary Practitioner may
deem necessary.
(2) If, after completing the examination, the Veterinary Practitioner does not certify that the
horse is diseased, the Inspector shall at once deliver the same to the person entitled to the
possession thereof.
